2. Cats, tea, and yarn. Books, but that's a given.
3. How to pick? The Trumpet of the Swan for fave children's book. Cordelia's Honor for favorite adult.
4. Fantasy & SF, but I've been branching out. Been trying to read more diverse and translated books too!
5. Ginger. Blech.

"The really unforgivable acts are committed by calm men in beautiful green silk rooms, who deal death wholesale, by the shipload, without lust, or anger, or desire, or any redeeming emotion to excuse them but cold fear of some pretended future. But the crimes they hope to prevent in the future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present - they are real."
I'm slowly working my way through the Miles Vorkosigan series, a sprawling space opera. The main character was the victim of a biological assassination attempt in utero (directed at his father), so he has many physical problems & is under 5 feet tall in a society that has little patience for physical imperfections. He is super wily & snarky, and uses his wits to maneuver his way through impossible situations. #inagalaxyfarfaraway #maybookflowers
An old favourite: Cordelia from the Vorgosigan Saga. Miles never realises how awesome his mother is in the first two books/dual feature. Ripley from Aliens has nothing on this woman. And a new favourite: Alana from Saga gives birth and then walks for 3 days, has a nap sitting up, and then walks some more, this time carrying both her wounded husband and their child. You just can't get any tougher than that. #KickassHeroines #SeasonsReadings2016

Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan will always be my hero. I want to be her when I grow up.
